JOSEPH A. DANIEL, OF COMANCHE, TEXAS.

OIL-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH A. DANIEL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and resident of Comanche, in the county of Comanche and Stateof Texas, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements inOil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stoves and furnalces and particularly to aburner for crude 01 An object of this invention is-to provide novelmeans for conveying oil from'a point exteriorly of a stove and forheating the said oil in its travel therefrom to the interior of thestove where it is consumed.

A further object of this invention is to provide a conduit for the oilassociated with a burner therefor, the said conduit being in suchrelation to the burner as to effect the heating of the oil in itstransmission to the burner, provision being made for permitting the exitof flames from the sideof the burner.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists inthe details of construction and in the arrangement and combination ofparts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings forming part of this specification wherein likecharacters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in whichFigure 1 illustrates a transverse sectional view of a portion of a stovewith a burner applied thereto; Fig. 2 illustrates a view in elevation ofa fragment of the stove with the lower member and trough of the burnerin section; Fig. 3 illustratesa perspective view of the burner with theoil conducting trough omitted; Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view ofthe lower member of the burner; Fig. 5 illustrates a perspective view ofthe trough and Fig. 6 is a fragmental detail plan view of the lowerburner member and the trough assembled in operative relation.

In these drawings, 6 denotes a stove having a door 7 provided with anaperture to permit entrance of the flanges 27 and 28 of the trough andthe wings 8, of the trough, are adapted to normally close the saidaperture.

The lower portion 9 of the burner is supported in the usual fire box ofa stove by means of a lug 10 which is arranged on Specification ofZetters Patent.

the bottom of the said member 9 and projects from the sides thereof. Themember 9 is provided with transversely disposed partitions 11 and 12,and the said partitions 11 and 12 are provided with recesses 14 and 15respectively in their upper edges; the said recesses forming seats forthe generator or trough 16 (hereinafter to be termed a trough) whichconveys oil to the burner. The upper section .17 of the burner fits onthe lower member 9 thereof, and together they form a cylindrical casinghaving apertures 18 formed by recessing the edges of the members 9 and17 so that the recesses coincide as shown in Fig. 3. The member17 isprovided with an overhanging lug 19 which engages the side wall of themember 9 whereas the member 9 has an upwardly extending lug 20 whichengages the side wall of the member 17 thuspreventing disarrangement ordisplacement of one of the members with relation to the other. Thepartition 11 is of such shape, relative to the surface of the trough 16,that the port 21 is formed in the recess 14 and permits oil to flow oversaid partition from the compartment 22 to the compartment 23, of thesaid member 9. The interior of the member 9 is further provided withlugs 23' which are supports for one end of the trough, the other end ofsaid trough being supported by the partitions 11 and 12.

The trough 16 has a bowl 241, at its outer end, which merges with thetubular portion 25. This tubular portion extends approximately midway ofthe said trough, the remaining portion of said trough being open at itstop, and oil may flow rearwardly therethrough to the end thereof, whereit is discharged between the lugs 23, from the aperture 26, into thelower burner member 9. The trough is further provided with lateralserrated flanges 27 and 28, which permit flame, which issues from thelower member 9 to pass up through the openings 18.

In using this oil burner, crude oil is supplied to the bowl 24 by anyproper gradual and continuous means, such as the tank 24* and pipe 24",and said oil flows along the trough into the lower burner member 9.While the oil is flowing down the trough it becomes heated, andcombustion taking place in the compartment 22 is aided thereby. When thelower burner member 9 becomes filled above the level of the port 21 Y inpartition 11 oil flows from the compart- 'therethrough.

ment'22 and to the compartment 23, where combustion also takes place, sothat the tubular portion of the trough is heated and raises thetemperature of the oil passing The outer portion 9 of the lower member 9serves as a receptacle for oil which may overflow laterally from thebowl, and delivers said oil through the port 21 into the chamber 23. Theports 21 and 21 also serve to relieve the compartment 22 of excess ofoil, which may flow through. said ports into the receptacle 9 from whichit may be dipped or drawn out by any proper means.

I claim- 1. In an oil stove, a cylir idrical burner comprising upperandlower burner members, the walls of which are provided with coincidingapertures, the said lower burner member having partitions therein withre cesses in their upper edges, a trough seated in the recesses andpartially supported by the partitipns, and means in the lower burnermember for supporting one end of the trough, one of the partitionshaving'a port therein for permitting oil to flow from one compartment tothe other of the lower burner member.

2. In an oil burner, a bottom burner memher having transversely disposedrecessed partitions therein, an upper burner member supported on theedges of the first said burner member, the lateral edges of the saidmembers having recesses which coincide to form openings when the burnermembers are assembled, the bottom burner member projecting forwardlybeyond the upper burner member. a trough having a tubular portionintermediate its length seated in the recesses of the partitions, a bowlat the outer end of the trough to receive the oil, and ser -rated sideflanges on the trough extending laterally into proximity with the innerwalls of the burner members.

3. In an oil burner, two semi-cylindrical sections having their lateraledges in contact, said edges being recessed to form openings, a troughseated in one of said sections, said trough having a tubular portionintermediate its length, a bowl at its outer end to receive oil, aserrated flange on each of its sides, and a wing on each of said sides.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
